Walkthrough

The large, comfortable salon is accessed a few steps down from the aft deck. Forward and down a few steps is the galley; full forward is the guest stateroom with private head. From the salon, a staircase leads down to the master stateroom, all the way aft, fitted with full walk-around berth and private head/shower.
